Synopsis: High pressure currently centered near the Louisiana
coast will gradually move into the eastern Gulf of Mexico by this
evening, continuing eastward across North Florida on Sunday, then
on to near Bermuda by late Monday. Meanwhile, low pressure will
start to develop in the far western Gulf early next week, causing
southeast breezes to freshen and become occasionally strong. A
brief lull is expected Wednesday night into Thursday in advance
of a cold front. Winds quickly freshen once again sometime
Thursday night or Friday morning in the wake of the next frontal
passage.
